Sonata

Sonata ....on listening to Bach's Sonata No. 1, performed by Henryk Szernyk Beauty glows in every bow stroke, bravura beyond compare; golden notes like dew drops falling shimmer brightly through the air. Like larks aloft they hover lightly, soar like angels from on high; bring honour to the Lord Almighty, swell His praise through earth and sky. 'Glory, glory, in excelsis,' with compelling artistry he raises us to heaven for a glimpse of immortality.

Before I had commented on this lovely poem I wanted to listen to this song. Another area I have much to learn about! I found the sonata but not your rendition. Beautiful. I love music very mich. Really doesn't matter what kind, just love it. Must admit that classic rock is my fav, hence the nickname "Rock'n Robin". I have thought about dappling in Lyrics, myself. I don't know if I can do it though. As always, thank you for sharing your beautiful words. Love, Robin

Ahhh....Bach....if ever there is music in heaven, it would be something akin to Bach. I love this piece...will have to look for this particular performance...you have me intrigued with your wonderful poem. Nothing moves me to tears quite as much as beautiful classical music. ~ Carrie

Great write, Keith. I don't know the Szernyk performance (mine is Milstein) but I love the piece and played it as a boy (though no way would anyone have written poetry on hearing my performance!). Thanks for comments and ongoing support. Best wishes, Nigel aka Jack
